Visit my Etsy store to see the available wine bottle stoppers
Project Description
This segemented stopper is my fourth completed project in my June 2009 “30 Projects in 30 Days” challenge. Building these stoppers has been a lot of fun for me. Each design element allows for a number of alternatives by using different species of wood. For this design I used an open segmentation technique as the highlight. The upper portion of this stopper is hollow.
Considering that each stopper takes several hours to build and turn, I take great joy in knowing that no two stoppers are the same.
Stopper Stats:- Total pieces: 121
- Primary Wood: Walnut
- Secondary Wood: Red Leaf Maple
- Cap: Sapele
- Dimensions: 2-1/8” tall, 1” diameter
- Finish: CA/BLO
Other segmented wine bottle stoppers I have created and posted here at Lumberjocks

Open segmentation … Makes for an insteresting piece. Looks good, you’ve got to have quite a steady hand to do that.

Really Cool, Darryl!
Is there a dowel inside of the top or is it “empty”?

The top is empty.
I didn’t attach the top layer of Walnut and the Sapele cap until I had formed the inside.
